Cleaning the fronts on my ‘69 LA build. Original drums, never cut. Assumed they were original, but thought they would have been Timkens. Thanks for the info & taking the time to get back to me.....Jim

No problem, was a surprise for me too as well as my discs first cut!

IMO...
Bower = Bower Roller Bearing Corporation BCA = Bearing Corporation of America Sometimes, other suppliers were used. For example NDH = Delco New Departure Hyatt a division of GM And sometimes RBC = Roller Bearing Corporation. These were usually aftermarket thru a power transmission supply house like Motion Industries.
BCA made an excellent bearings and usually used the Timken Corp component identification numbers. Just my opinion of course.
FYI...
Bower is now a division of NTN www.ntnbower.com very extensive listing for many different applications
